LIGUE 1 - Esperance of Tunis dreams of Hatem Ben Arfa
After having dreamed of attracting Hatem Ben Arfa in the past, Tunisian Esperance leader Hamdi Meddeb (again) recently made contacts to carry out a crazy project: to recruit the former Rennais.
President of the champion of Tunisia for more than ten years, the Tunisian businessman is determined to make this dream come true. Obviously, Ben Arfa is aware with the rumours of interest, he who has never hidden his love for Tunisia and EST.
A few years ago, the 34-year-old attacking midfielder was invited by President Meddeb in a private plane. The latter had tried to convince him to sign.
But at that time, HBA still had the will to stay in Europe. Has the situation changed? Today, the former Parisian does not close any doors, but remains very selective in his choices. He has also refused offers from Spain, Italy and Turkey.
He would see himself in Lille, where contact with Olivier Létang has never been broken. But the French international, a personality apart and a master in the art of dribbling for a decade, has accustomed us to sometimes surprising choices. Esperance de Tunis would be a new one.
